That is still a very capable machine, especially since you've maxed out the RAM. What graphics card are you running in it? For internet browsing, emailing, using older photoshop …

The iBook G4 speakers are passable... but they're not that great. I couldn't see myself listening to music on them for any significant period of time. But then again, I am a bit of…

I can't speak for the G4 iBooks, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the speakers in my Lombard, and in G4 Powerbooks - the "Small Speakers" EQ setting in iTunes helps a lot.

Most laptop speakers leave something to be desired, especially consumer-grade ones. I've not listened to an iBook in a good while now, but I know that the speakers in my old MacBoo…

You can get a halfway decent pair of speakers and a sub for $50 these days os why not? When i had an iBook G4 I always felt the speakers were poor - very tinny and no range. I hav…

A small subwoofer perhaps? I have a 10 watt IBM branded one (probably came with an Aptiva or some such) that complements my laptop speakers nicely.

The iBook G4 that was mine and then my uncle's is about to become my cousin's in a few days. My uncle insisted that he buy her a pair of speakers for the laptop. My question--do a…

All right!!! Thanks! I'll take your suggestion on the hard drive, thanks!

That RAM should be fine, OWC sells it too. As for a hard drive, 320 - 500 GB is a pretty good size, but get a firewire external. That way you can switch it between machines easil…

Hey guys, I figured it was time for a RAM upgrade for my iMac G5. Will this work? What about a hard drive? What do you guys suggest? It would be nice to move up from 521 MB and 8…

That's a pretty good overclock, those G4's run fairly warm, something that may not be apparent if you haven't really pushed the machine. It would probably be worth removing the he…

My PCI SCSI card is an Adaptec 7850 flavour card, model AVA 2906. A fairly common card so it could be possible that it is the same as yours. Drivers for OS X can be downloaded here…
